Reduced offerings onboard from OceanNow food delivery.

Yes, several posts seem to be confirming this.  It is unfortunate as the Ocean Now feature seems to be being denuded with the new fee and less offerings.  It would seem they are trying to reduce the demand because they either can't staff for it or cost is too much.  There are only so many crew cabin spaces on each ship so IDK how they could add 50 - 100 more crew in order to respond to heightened Ocean Now usage.

Just shows that when they launched it, they didn't appreciate what the demand was going to be. It was always going to be hard to keep up people ordering things, especially when many seem to move away from where they were and staff have to hunt them down.

If they keep reducing the offerings, there won't really be much point in having the medallion app at all, just as well have a door access card, and be done with it.

It looks as though they have reduced the offerings available to order via the app onboard, presumably since the package changes. No longer got the crisps, the nachos/guacamole, and pizza is up to $8.50.

Crisps?

They had expanded the menu too.  
That might have added to the demand.  So, not surprising that they are now reducing it.

Crisps are chips in British speak, and chips are fries.

Of course!  Thanks

 

Chips and Guac are gone?

They are $9 to buy ahead of cruise, cruise personalizer.

No thanks

 

Wanted to make sure the fries are still there.😉

Still seems like a lot for RS.  I think you found the ones they deleted.  Some others were increased a little. Is this menu shown on the TV also?   
 

Chocolate chip cookies now $4.99. Wow.

Shoot.  Guac is the only thing we ordered in a bar with our drinks.  

From what I recall from the Majestic a few weeks ago, the list will change depending upon location on the ship with what is available sitting near the Hollywood Pool and bar is different from the room service list in your cabin.
